His Secret Husband

[23] Aera's End

Aera waited for Jungkook to be taken down by Kim Entertainment because she knew how powerful they were. However, she completely forgot about the man that stood at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry...since he possessed so much power, how could he be used so easily?

In reality, the fact that Taehyung had allowed the photo to be taken in the first place, meant he accepted what was to come, even if it was to create hype...

But, Aera did not realize this and insisted on framing Jungkook. Truthfully, it's possible this opportunity may have been deliberately given to her by Kim Taehyung so he could deal with her.

After all, Aera's obstacles for Jungkook had been laid out at SM; if he was to deal with her, he'd have to use his own name.

Aera was happy the entire night, however, the news that was released the next morning was nothing like what she expected...

[Exposed! SM's director carefully schemes against her own artist!]

[Aera pretends to be Jungkook to frame him for creating hype: intends to push him to death!]
[SM's internal war continues: Jungkook gets close to Kim Entertainment for hype?]

All the media outlets seemed to be under a spell as they thought up of various headlines. At the same time, they revealed that Aera was trying to frame Jungkook but instead everything backfired on herself; they even attached a video as proof.

The news first started from a famous weekly publication that attached a manuscript from a phone conversation they had with Aera on the night of the gala. They also explained how she had pretended to be Jungkook and tried to frame Jungkook for creating hype with Kim Taehyung. On top of everything, if anyone was to say they had no proof, they also attached a video. Although the person in the video was shown from the side, no one could deny it was Aera as she was easily recognizable.

Within this short 3-4 minute clip, it was clear that she was discussing headlines and price with the publication, under the guise of being Jungkook.

With the appearance of this video, Aera couldn't even smooth out everything with her PR...The news had already spread everywhere; it was practically on every single possible media form. Also, because the news involved the mysterious and low-profile CEO of Kim Entertainment, Kim Taehyung, and news like this didn't come around often, all forms of media wanted to report on it as soon as possible.
In merely 2 hours, Aera's evil deeds were known by everyone...

"Who would have thought, the entertainment industry was so dark. Luckily god punishes those that are evil!"

"Full support for Jungkook! He has always kept a low profile, yet SM treated him like this; they have no conscience."

"If Aera likes to act so much why doesn't she become an actress? She is really the cheapest person."

"This really pisses me off, how could there be such a despicable woman? Does anyone want to form a group and go hit her with me?"

SM Entertainment, CEO's Office. Aera looked at the viral discussions and articles online; she was at the brink of insanity. The person that should have been scolded today was Jungkook...

However, a surprising twist had happened!

Aera's face looked lifeless as her whole body trembled. Because of the news, she was about to fall apart.

There was mumbling in her ears as Kris tried to work his PR on the phone beside her. Meanwhile, her hand trembled as she held onto her phone; there were a few times she subconsciously punched in Jungkook's phone number.

"Jungkook, was it you? Was it you that schemed against me?"

"Aera, you've flipped the situation around. You were the one that tried to frame me," Jungkook pointed out the truth calmly from the other side of the line.

"Come out, come out and clear things up for me. This was all part of your scheming, you wanted to frame me...it was all because of you..."

Aera's voice was harsh and sharp; her words were cruel and broken. She was too angry; she wanted to tear Jungkook into pieces through the phone. However...Jungkook remained calm; his cool and composed attitude made him appear like he had everything in the palm of his hands and all he was waiting for now, was to see Aera's fate...
"You already knew this would happen, didn't you? Jungkook, I am ruthless, but compared to me, you aren't any better. I was merely scheming behind your back, but you took things a step further!"
